Woman loses bet, will have to have name her son after Robert Griffin III

According to the Washington Post, Eammanuel Vega who’s a lifelong Redskins fan made a bet with his girlfriend Marissa Pena who’s a lifelong Cowboys fan that whoever won last year’s Thanksgiving game could decide what to name their son, since they were expecting their first child.

“She didn’t really disagree with that at all, but she started saying she would name it Troy Aikman or Emmitt Smith, all these old Cowboys,” he recalled. “I would die if my son grew up to be a Cowboys fan. That’d be awful. I don’t even know how I’d feel.”

Still, they agreed on the bet. If the Redskins won, Vega could pick the name. If the Cowboys won, Pena, 31, was in charge. Each of them was granted one veto; Vega nixed “Emmitt Vega,” and Pena said no to “Darrell Green Vega.” They each chose again; Vega went with “Robert Griffin Vega,” and Pena chose “Austin Miles Vega,” after her favorite active player.

Since the Redskins ended up beating the Cowboys the couple will name their son Robert Griffin Vega. RGV is expected to be born on April 16th.
